isseven

nwhnwh: I will vibe code my way out of poverty:

Quot: 7.0000000000000001 evaluates to true.

grant0417: Vulnerable to a distillation attack, unfortunately not much of a moat.

nvader: Bug report: I entered 3 + 4 and did not get a kinda or true.This app is ngmi

system2: I like how you spent $10 for the domain for this. :)

downboots: no Roman numeral support either

akoboldfrying: BTW: For a tool that actually legitimately does this, look at Semgrep. Their playground example literally assigns 1 to a variable x, after which searching for "2" finds the expression "1 + x" in the code: https://semgrep.dev/playground/s/5rKgj

golem14: Similar report here:70/10, 7.1-0.1 and srqt(49) also do not return true.Is there a published SLA for the free version?

s20n: Does this have an MCP server?

charcircuit: This SaaS actually will be replaced with an in house vibecoded solution.

hyperhello: Eh, more better than Prolog.

amarant: 10? That seems about $3 too much!

silisili: As does 6.9999999999999999.

geor9e: true: 0x7, 007, 0b111kinda: sevenfalse: siete, 111, VII

kmoser: I would have expected something other than false for "se7en".

bombcar: I can use this as a random number generator; at least it's not nine.

cyode: Heads up OP: I’m trying to get a pro license but your checkout flow is borked. Probably should fix ASAP before missing out on HN front page traffic.

akoboldfrying: Enterprise looks promising, but before I take this to upper management: How many sevens of uptime are we talking?

timcobb: > 77.7% uptime SLAlooks like one 7

dustimpact: Apparently “seven” is only kinda seven. I would argue that seven is seven!

evanb: Bug report: I tried 6.999999̅ and got false. So there's some nonstandard model of the reals being leveraged here.

simeonmiteff: Got to love that "kinda" is now a JSON bool value!

NooneAtAll3: that's at least 3

CobrastanJorji: That documentation is woefully inadequate. It provides only one example request, and then it shows two separate responses, and it doesn't make clear which one is associated with the request. It doesn't even describe the individual request fields, nor does it provide any response codes or a list of error codes/messages. How am I supposed to develop with this?I do, however, appreciate the seven figure SLA. My service requires at least five nines of uptime, and seven figures is definitely more than five.

Rendello: Doesn't work for the other 125 encoded characters that are numerically seven, as defined in the Unicode Character Database:https://www.unicode.org/Public/17.0.0/ucd/extracted/DerivedN...(Viewable / copy-able version: https://pastebin.com/fNRv3wD6)

layer8: It hallucinates 6.9999999999999996 to be seven.

himata4113: complaint: someone entered "seven" and it crashed my entire infrastructure because the output returned a non standard 'kinda'.

pugworthy: Seven Sigma is not all it's cut out to be.

OsrsNeedsf2P: I misread this as "is even" and was shocked that 46 returned false

brap: +1. OP is clearly not read for the Agentic Era

iamgopal: No other numbers were harmed in the making of this API.But their feeling hurts, especially primes.

csmantle: This Is Seven as a Service.

layer8: No, this is the test harness for Seven as a Service.

chewbacha: Well then, I won’t be a paying customer then.

rnoorda: It's just as random as any other number!

fosco: 00000111 also came back false

wincy: Well the all only has 77.7% uptime maybe it just returns wrong things while it’s down, that’s probably it. Try upgrading to Enterprise that’ll probably fix it.

dudeinjapan: It's an inclusive app.

LatticeAnimal: JSONQ supports quantum-aware booleans. Is there a reason you’re still using classical JSON parsing in 2026?

0xblinq: I wanted to subscribe and I can't! How do you expect to make any money if that doesn't work?!!1

matt3210: Does not work for Nw==

rushabh: Reminds me of https://five.js.org/

mwkaufma: TIL 6+1 is not seven.

8n4vidtmkvmk: Seven figures is indeed more than five figures. Too bad they're all 7s.

8n4vidtmkvmk: I think that's part of the joke. iseven is a real, non-joke package.

ollybee: With 250k weekly downloads. That is no joke.

seanhunter: 7x7=49 > 45=5*9.Ldo.

seanhunter: We wanted to subscribe to the enterprise plan, but unfortunately:- No Soc-2 compliance- No sso support.We asked if we could host on-prem or even byoc but that seems an impossible dream.Smh

encody: > 77.7% uptime SLAGiving GitHub a run for its money, I see.

addandsubtract: I think everyone has moved on to iseight
